They do not give feedback at any stage. Even after completing all stages and getting a rejection, they do not have the common decency to tell you why and how you can improve. Instead, they give the template response "found candidates that are closer to our hiring needs". Do not buy into their values bs, they will just waste your time. I'm not even getting into the several delays of getting a response after each stage...

They make you sign an NDA.

Software Engineer • Former Employee

Pros: None. This place will suck your soul.

Cons: Company is full of bullies including the CEO and the CTO. CEO hides behind the CTO to do all his dirty work. There is no diversity. Majority of the leadership is White! They don’t hire folks from diverse background and don’t appreciate it. Things are so bad that the DEI person quit within a year! If you are interviewing, ask the hiring manager or the recruiter about why so many people are quitting Smartsheet!
